Surnames: WALSER/WALTZER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WdB.2ACI/3350.1 Message Board Post: Betty: I have a book entitled, "Jacobs Lutheran Church, German Township, Fayette County, Parish Records, Part II, 1793-1885" by Paul Miller Ruff and would be happy to do a look up for you. This book lists a key to certain names. When researching the "WALSER" name in church records, it states to look for the variant "WALTZER." Can you please email me directly and tell me the time frame you are interested in. There are records circa 1795 for a "Petrus and Efa WALSER," (Peter and Eva). Is this who you are looking for? There is also a "Petrus and Sarah WALTZER, Jr." Most of these records are baptismal records. Checking probate index for Fayette County, there is a Frederick WALSER, probate date 1788, Bk 1, Pg 11; and a Peter WALSER, probate date 1834, Bk2, Page 11. You might want to write to the Fayette County Prothonatary's Office and obtain a copy of these records. Hope some of this helps!
